Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates generally to computing and communication devices and more particularly to methods and apparatuses for sending message data from a digital sender device based on addressing information provided by a portable device.
- Electronic messaging, such as, sending and receiving electronic mail (e-mail) continues to grow in popularity. There is growing list of devices that can be used to send and/or receive e-mail. It is not uncommon, for example, to find e-mail being exchanged between users of personal computers (PCs) and users of mobile telephones/pagers.
- A more recent development has been the introduction of devices sometimes referred to as digital senders. Digital sender devices basically allow users to send e-mail to one or more other users by entering the other user(s) e-mail addresses and/or selecting a defined list of recipients. The user then scans one or more documents using the digital sender device. The digital sender then forwards a digital representation of the scanned documents to the listed recipients over an interconnecting network.
- Digital sender devices such as this are useful, for example, in offices, conference rooms, business centers, home offices, schools, and other like settings where it would be beneficial to enable users to quickly send e-mails without requiring a more extensive computing arrangement. Digital senders can be especially useful to visitors that may not have the ability to access local computing networks, etc. Many visitors and other mobile users do carry portable devices, such as, for example, notebook computers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), mobile telephones/pagers, and the like. It would be beneficial if such portable devices could interact with digital sender and other like devices. In particular, it would be beneficial for users to be able to generate message data using a digital sending device and then provide the digital sending device with one or more recipient addresses using a portable device.
- Consequently, there is a need for improved methods and apparatuses that can provide such a capability.
- The above-stated needs and/or others are met, for example, by a method for use in a digital sender device that is capable of sending message data over a communication network. The method includes optically scanning at least one object to form corresponding scanned object data, receiving recipient address data from a portable device, and addressing the message data using the recipient address data. In certain implementations the method further includes sending the message data over the communication network to at least one remote device connected to the communication network and operatively associated with a user address that is included in the recipient address data. The method may also include accepting user input through a user interface of the digital sender device. Here, the user input may include user provided data such as address data, subject data, and text data. The method then includes forming the message data by combining the scanned object data, the recipient address data, and the user provided data.
- In accordance with other exemplary implementations, an apparatus is provided that is capable of sending message data. The apparatus includes a scanning mechanism configurable to optically scan at least one object to form corresponding scanned object data and at least one communication port configurable to receive recipient address data from a portable device over a communication link. Here, the recipient address data includes at least one address associated with an intended message data recipient. The apparatus further includes logic that is operatively coupled to the scanning mechanism and the communication port. The logic is configured to form message data by combining the scanned object data and the recipient address data.
